    Planning For A Safe Backpacking Expedition

    Especially if you are still starting, you should be conscious of who you are backpacking with. Preferably, you will be with someone more experienced than you are who is willing to guide you as you progress to become a veteran backpacker yourself.

    You must be wary about some who may be too aggressive and may put you to risk if you go with them. Stick to the company of those with similar goals – and those that you trust.

    Another important consideration is the group size. With lesser heads, your group will be more compact and will be easier to manage & control. Solo trips are however discouraged for obvious safety reasons.

    During the first few backpacking journeys, choose one that is not that difficult to pursue at your level – in terms of terrain conditions and trip length. Your first backpacking activity should be one that will help you gauge your capacity. And it should be more about having fun along the journey, and should not be on how fast & how far you go.
